Technically it means:
 * __**//It purpose was to repeal the 18th amendment.//**__
 * __**//It doesnt totally band alchohol like the 18th amendment.//**__
 * **//__it has limits on alcohol.__//**



M.J. THINKS: I think it allows the society to drink. I now realize that if your over a limit you could be aressted. i always thought that this law was bad but now i belive it is ok for people to drink on accasion especially on new years and chapionship games like the World Series for adults only. I believe that under age driking sould be prohibited in all countrys not only the U.S.A.this is what I believe about the question above.
 * //__HOW DO THE ISSUES WHICH PROMPTED THE CREATION OF THE AMENDMENT COMPARE WITH THE ISSUES THEY ARE APPLIED TO TODAY?__//**

KOKO THINKS: I think alcohol should be enjoyed sometimes. But since abusing alcohol is very common and easy fo r many drinkers it should have more detail on limits. The issues today are very diffrent than when it was created. In 1933 not many people were charged of drunk driving because veichles were not common. But now almost every american family has a car or if not one, two cars.In 1933 the amendment was needed to calm gangs bt now it is needed to decrease drunk driving.

PATRICK THINKS:

We all think that the 21st amendment is nessesary.

Q:How was it created?

A:People thought it was unfair to band alcohoholic beverages. People believed alcohohol should be enjoyed in moderation.

Q:When was it created?

A:It was proposed on febuary 20, 1933.



Q:What was going on in the country at the time?
 * A:
 * Drinking illegaly was publicated dramaticall in movies
 * Illegal liquor trade became a booming industry
 * Gang warefare killed about 215 criminals in Chicago alone

Q: Who wrote the Amendment?

A:A senator in congress wrote the amendment

Some people believe the 18th amendment shouldn"t have been repealed because of all the drunks and DWI's we hear about these days, if it was my opinion I wouldn't have made this amendment.

A: It took about 288 dayys.

M.J.'s:__ House candidate Pfielsticker pleads guilty to a DWI charge.
 * __CURRENT EVENTS

In my current event a democrat named Linda Pfeilsticker was charged and found giulty o DWI. She was fined with a 675$ charge. At the age of 36 she had been arrestead. When she was tested her blood alchol level it was 0.17 very high that is more than twice the legal limit. She had to pay 6 months in jail and go to a rehab clinic. I believe that this was resulted because of the 21st amendment if we still had the 18th she wouldnt have been drunk an charged for DWI.
